Hello everybody, I'm Diane Grissell.
I'm also known as silver Disobedience and this is the
Silver Disobedience Perception Dynamics podcast where we
explore the operating systems ofsociety and today, whoa, do I
have a great topic for you and asuper guest.
I want to start with a question.What if the greatest period of
(00:25):
your life actually began when society tells you, you know, you
should start to slow down a little, Take it easy, you know,
don't overload yourself. Well, my guest defied that
advice. It's Elita St.
James who is with me today. And Elita is an author and
(00:49):
energy healer and an entrepreneur who, at age 57
years old, gave birth to twins. So we're going to have a great
conversation about ageless living.
Thank you, Alita. I am so happy to be here.
(01:10):
You are so jazzed with energy. Because I'm excited about this
interview. Me very much.
You too. Really.
We're on the same vibe. We definitely are.
Well, you know what's interesting?
Tell me now. I'm 77, and when I first was
pregnant, the naysayers would say, what are you going to look
(01:31):
like when you're in your 70s andyour kids are 20 and Oh my God,
you'll be decrepit and whatever.And I said to them better than
than I do now. And you know what?
It's true. Well, you know, there's a lot to
be said about getting in a hormone surge midlife because I
know I got a load of when I was 40 when I gave birth to my first
(01:55):
child in 43. And then I went and had a, a
hormone check in one of my physicals and, and the doctor
said to me, you're like raging with hormones.
This is rare for someone your age.
So, and I credit that to, you know, maybe nicer skin or still
having more hair that that laterchildbirth, but 57 was a lot
(02:15):
older. Oh yeah, and.
And The thing is, I always wanted to have children.
And I would tell all my friends,they'd say, when are you going
to start? Like when I was 45, then I was
48, you know, But my grandmothergave birth to twins at 50.
My grandmother gave birth to my mother at 54.
(02:35):
Really. Yes.
And that was 13. So I thought I had all the time
in the world because of genetics, cephagenetics.
My grandmother could do it. I could do it.
So when I was about 49, I thought, you know, I better like
get serious about this. And so I was with a partner and
I wanted to have it natural because my grandmother did.
(03:00):
And it wasn't working because I'd get pregnant.
I could have had probably, if I started in my 40s, thirteen
children like my grandmother. But at 49 or whatever, it wasn't
happening. So I had some miscarriages and
then I thought, all right, you have to make a decision.
Do you want your genetics or do you want to have babies?
(03:23):
And I said babies. So my fertility Dr. Doctor Jane
Miller said, Alita, whenever you're ready to do IVF, I'm here
with you, I'll help you. And so finally after the 3rd
miscarriage, I went, I can't do it anymore.
I can't because it's and anybodylistening that's gone through
(03:44):
miscarriages as a woman, it's horrible because you have such
hope and expectation, especiallyif it's the second and third
one, because every minute you'reworried am I, you know, going to
lose the baby or whatever. And because I do energy healing,
I up to my level and I was putting great energy in there,
(04:04):
but it wasn't meant to be. So then I thought, OK, it's all
right. My father was brilliant.
My brother, Curtis Lewa has a photographic memory.
You know, guardian angels, WOR, whatever WABCI thought.
I don't. It's OK.
I just want children that I knowI'm supposed to have.
(04:26):
I just knew it. And a lot of women that I work
with that are going through thiswhole fertility thing, they feel
like children are trying to comein.
They can feel that urge, you know, that they have to have
these children. And I swear I kid around with
couples all the time with, you know, then they come in and say,
if it was up to you, we would have no children because only
(04:48):
women could go through this because you have to have that
drive. And then I'm just going to have
children no matter what, you know, doesn't matter about
miscarriages, price, whatever. I feel I'm going to have those
children. And so I went to because I had
done a lot of energy healing work to be a master energy
healer than I am. But I thought I got to up my
(05:11):
game, so I went to the fertilitytemples in India.
All right. Oh my goodness.
With a very dear friend of mine,Doctor Bassoon, he was into the
whole Hindu thing. And I've, I've studied all the
different religions, Buddhism, Hinduism, I was born a Catholic,
but everything eclectic. And we went, he was in the Air
(05:36):
Force at one point and we went to like 19 temples in like 8
days in southern India. I did all the fertility
practices and ceremonies and things of that nature.
And it was like something out oftomb Raiders.
It was unbelievable because downin the South it's ancient.
(05:57):
You're going into ancient temples and I'll remember 1
temple fertility, right? All these women with their
children just chanting and praying because they wanted
their children. And we went up into a whole
place. And normally they wouldn't let
somebody like myself in a Caucasian woman, blonde,
(06:18):
whatever, but I had a letter from a guru that gave me carte
blanche to go into any sampled out of the South with my sari.
I went up into the whole top of it.
It was like out of a film. And all these people, these
juntas were chanting and chanting.
They opened up this energy. And I swear I felt like the
(06:41):
light was just coming into my whole body and right into my
uterus in terms of bringing in my children.
Then I went to Peru and I work with the shamans in Peru.
This is, you know, years and years ago, 25 years ago, 26
years ago now. People are doing that now.
And I had another awakening. And the beautiful awakening was
(07:04):
I'm doing the ceremonies in the jungle with the shamans.
And all of a sudden I opened up to the Divine Mother because we
want, you see, we have so much alpha energy as women here
because we're go, go, go, do, do, do.
And that's why part of the fertility is really difficult
because we don't have that yin energy.
(07:26):
So I was going to go yin in the jungles of Peru, Yin to the
goddess, the feminine goddess, right?
And all of a sudden, towards theends of this whole ceremony, a
little baby monkey came up beside me.
Like tiny little baby monkey andI just grabbed it and it grabbed
(07:48):
me and its mother had died. So I adopted this little monkey,
baby monkey for about 3 more days while I was in the jungle
there. And so I took I'll never forget
the doctor sheer right? He's my fertility Dr. right?
So at 54, I go in and I said, look, I have to do this.
(08:10):
I just have to do this. And then I show him the picture
of me with the baby monkey. He goes, yes, Alita, you see
this? Yes.
Where are you going with? This.
I was at the jungle, we were doing the ceremony.
I open to the goddess. All of a sudden the baby monkey
(08:31):
came in. Do you get what's happening?
He goes well, and I said I have to get pregnant.
This is a sign. So he was on board.
So between Doctor Scheer and Dr.Jane Miller, I wound up having
twins at 57. But it was a journey because,
and the thing that's really great, Diane, is no matter
(08:52):
whatever I do in my life, that'sa challenge.
I grow through it. I definitely grow through it.
Like just doing the fertility thing, doing everything that you
have to do nutritionally and thedetoxes and the spiritual, you
know, evolving energy. Because, and we were talking
about this before you were bringing it up, your thoughts
(09:14):
are things. And if you have negative belief
systems in your subconscious that are imprinted in there,
that's how you start to make your decisions about things.
And you think that you're dealing with your conscious
mind. That is like 10%.
Your subconscious mind is 90% ofhow we function.
(09:38):
So I had to go back and just reinvent my brain in terms of,
OK, you can have children at 57 and now I'm 77 and I'm going to
live to 120 now. When I was a.
Good number, That was one of my favorite books.
(09:59):
Did you read the 120? Roy Walford was it Who wrote
that? I don't know, but I know I was
being interviewed after I was pregnant and of course he's what
are you going to do? I said I'm going to live 220 and
he said, oh, Alita, I'm in that club.
I said, what? He said, yeah, there's 120 club.
I said, you're kidding me. He said, no, it's in the Bible.
(10:22):
So now I'm into the ageless factor.
In fact, I have a book proposal out there and it's called
finding Elita, the ageless factor in terms of you want your
body to keep up with your spirit.
And you mentioned yes, you mentioned that like I don't
think of aging. I don't, I don't think so.
(10:45):
I think 77 years young. That's what I feel and the.
Funny thing about aging is I don't it at time is a very hard
thing for me to contemplate, right?
You know, the past, the present,the future, it all just kind of
feels like it's right now. Brilliant.
That's how it's supposed to feel.
(11:06):
It does, you know, you know, Diane, do you know how long it
takes people to meditate, to getinto the present hours, weeks,
months that you've got the wholething down?
It's like. I'd like to believe that I'm
telling you this. My children, they might say
something different. Look, mothers never know
anything. You know that I know nothing.
I know nothing, right? You know nothing.
(11:27):
I know nothing. My twins, they're hysterical,
all right? But the fact of the matter is,
if you really look at how you manifest and how you stay young,
you have to be in the present. And the mind goes into the past
or fear of the future. So it's the pain of the past,
the fear of the future. It takes so much practice,
(11:48):
meditation for hours, emotional energy release, work to stay in
the present. So through your life, you're
naturally, you naturally evolvedto that understanding.
So that's amazing because that'sthe place that you can manifest
from. And if you notice, everybody's
talking about manifest manifesting, Manifesting.
(12:08):
Manifestation and authenticity are two words that are a little
bit overused these days. But how would you define
manifestation in from your perspective?
OK. One of the things that's really
important when you're thinking about manifesting is that you
never think it's impossible. So I never thought that having
(12:31):
twins was going to be impossible.
I never thought that living 220 was going to be impossible.
None of it. That helps because when you're
starting to say affirmations or getting your mind to go around
that possibility, that really helps.
However, because I've done a lotof energy work and emotional
(12:51):
release work and bodywork and primal therapy and dealing with
light, it's not just enough to say I'm so happy and grateful
that I'm, you know, young and vibrant.
And if in your subconscious you don't believe that because it's
like putting paint over, you know, a dirty wall, it'll come
(13:12):
out. Well, that's where I believe
action has to come in, because otherwise you're living in a
state of cognitive dissonance. You're saying one thing, but
you're acting in another way, and you can't tie the two
together. Now, what stops people from
doing that is emotionally in their subconscious, it's going,
no, you're not, No, you're not. So when I'm working privately
(13:33):
with people say infertility, thethird, here's our first brain,
our second brain is in our solarplexus.
Other people's information on how we should be The third brain
is your uterus. So if I put my person could have
spent 125,000 trying to get pregnant.
Do men have a third brain since they don't have a uterus?
(13:53):
Well. Actually, that's a really it.
I could say something, but I'm not.
Going to say what? I love them.
I love men very much. So I'm just curious since you
just said that, right? But very spontaneous in my
child. Which way of thinking?
Three things sometimes. It's very intelligent.
OK, So if a man had a third brain, and they say this all the
time, if a man had a third brainand it was in his groin area,
(14:16):
what do you think it would be? I'd say pretty powerful.
Yeah, right. Attractive, right?
They use the energy, right? The Ying and the Yang to women.
Exactly right. So that third brain.
All right. So I'll put my hands on somebody
and then all of a sudden I'll pick up all the reasons why they
(14:38):
don't want to get pregnant. They had difficult mothers.
They don't want to become that financially, they're afraid
they're not going to be able to help, you know, finance the
child or children and they don'ttrust their partner.
Those are three of the common things that come up.
Are they consciously thinking about this?
No, they spent $125,000 in fertility situations.
(15:02):
All right, so once we get OK, why are you feeling that?
We can go back to when they madethat decision And
epigenetically, if the mother, if your mother, my mother was
having horrible times when they were pregnant, epigenetically we
get that into our body. So all of a sudden for 18 months
(15:25):
from the beginning of when we'reconceived to 18 months after,
whatever the mother's feeling, the baby thinks it's them.
So if the mother had a hard timewith pregnancy or she was
unhappy in her relationship or whatever, we get that.
So here we are loving having this great relationship, wanting
to get pregnant, but the subconscious imprint is going no
(15:49):
dangerous, you can't, it's not agood idea, you're going to lose
yourself, blah, blah, blah. So then I helped that person
connect to it, release it, and then put another belief system
end because the brain can't tella difference between real and
unreal. So if you actually program a
different scenario and bring in the higher frequency, which I
(16:12):
spent hours meditating, God, right, to bring it into my
system, the person actually becomes what they want.
So all that negativity no longeris ruling them and driving them.
So that's what everything that'swith finances, when people have
a hard time with their money, that's with relationships.
(16:33):
That's what you know, why am I doing what I'm doing?
Well, it's nobody's doing that to you.
You're creating your own reality.
So let's change your reality. Let's bypass that negativity in
your subconscious, rewire your brain and then your body, which
deals with your emotions. That's I have to tell you this,
(16:54):
OK. You tell me.
I was acting because I had a very good show business career I
had. I went to school in England,
studied acting at E 15 Acting School, which was then very
avant-garde. Joan Littlewood.
Whatever. Now it's like the top school and
I took my daughter there 2 summers ago because she's into
(17:15):
the theater. Francesca OK, so there.
You know, I had the lead in hairand, you know, played.
Sheila. Good morning, Starshine.
Da da, da da. I love that song to this day.
I do too. When Donovan sings it, I have to
like, stop right and listen to. Every word, right?
And how about Aquarius? I love.
(17:35):
Aquarius, Age of Aquarius, was that the 5th dimension?
Yes, I'm really dating myself. I think that was one of my first
singles I got as a kid. It was great.
It was 45. But then when I finished that, I
knew I had to get back to America.
And when I got back to America, it was like, who was I?
So when I went to audition for Jesus Christ Superstar and I was
(17:59):
standing on the line, I never thought that they wouldn't be
like, Oh my God, here's the starof Europe.
It's like they said next and I went, I actually said, now I
laugh. I said, did you see my resume
that I had? And they said, yeah, next.
Because you know, there's a whole thing that goes on in show
(18:21):
business in terms of casting or whatever.
They just most of the time just do that because they have to.
They already had a cast. So then I was like shocked.
So I went to my singing. Oh, and then there's a girl that
was behind me and she said, look, I have a singing teacher.
Galley can't be. You just need to go see her.
So that's how God works. Because if I didn't get like the
(18:44):
boot off the stage in that theater, I can't even remember
where I auditioned, I would havenever found Golly.
And Golly was amazing. She was like in her 70s, an
opera singer. She loved me and I loved her.
And she said, you know, you should get into concept therapy,
change your thoughts. Now, that was way back when I
(19:05):
was like, 2222 years old. I started studying, like, how
thoughts are things and how you have to think about, you know,
positively and affirmations. And this chiropractor, Thurman
Fleet, downloaded it for seven days, was writing on, you know,
his walls to get it all out and started this whole movement.
(19:29):
I hope he didn't live in New York City because writing on
your walls. In New York.
City can be very I lost a deposit one time from writing on
my walls. Yes.
Oh. My God, I am.
I heard a William James quote onthe wall.
You know, obstacles are what yousee when you when you take your
eye off the goal or something like that.
Yeah. Oh.
My God, yeah, an enlightened landlords, yeah.
(19:50):
Couldn't paint over that sharpie.
God. Anyway, no, He was in Texas
right there. My fleet was in Texas.
OK. But then I did all this concept,
thoughts or things, whatever, whatever.
Then I went to an acting class. I won't mention the name, but he
loves me. Oh, you.
(20:11):
I can't believe. Where have you been or you know,
blah, blah. You're going to make it so big
here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then the second time I got up to do like a scene.
He shredded me to bits and I didn't know why.
You know he like, he wouldn't, just like you don't.
You're not connected. And so then this wonderful.
(20:32):
He's a dear friend, like a brother.
Thurman Scott came up to me after and he said you should go
do this primal workshop. We do this Primal workshop.
It's on 72nd St. It's on the top of the loft and
all actors are there and you'll get into your feelings and da,
da, da. And so of course, I went like I
(20:54):
went to concept therapy, I went to the Primal workshop to going
all the way up to seven flights of steps.
We get in there and people are screaming their guts out about
how much they. Hate.
I remember when primal therapy started with all the screaming.
Screaming, yelling. And then I thought, where the
hell is Thurman? Excuse my French.
Thurman was Thurman was always late.
Thurman was late to his first marriage wedding thing, James
(21:18):
Earl Jones. Jones was his like, best man. 10
minutes late. But usually it's like an hour,
right? Where's Thurman?
And people are screaming and yelling.
So finally Thurman arrives and Ithought, well, hey, I got
nothing to lose, right? So I laid down, I started
breathing and all of a sudden this stuff started coming up
emotionally now, my father beingan emergency man and my mother.
(21:41):
And then I realized, wow, these are hidden emotions I never knew
I had. So then in my work, I put like
the concept therapy, how you dealing with your brain and your
mind and the emotional release work and then the high spiritual
work that I was doing. I put them all together so that
I could have like a total transformation when people come
(22:03):
to see me. So for the fertility, I've
gotten a really great success rate for the fertility because
I'm dealing with people that arein their late 30s and going into
their 40s. And about 44 is when I've been
able to get women pregnant, likenaturally when it starts to get
(22:24):
a little bit later, then it's, you know, using a donor egg.
And the donor egg is a real beautiful option because you
have somebody that really is donating something to you that
otherwise, unless you could pay $100,000 in Istanbul and get the
(22:46):
stem cells, you know, pumped into your own eggs, you can't do
so anyway. So whatever it is, the whole
thing is, you know, like with Annie and he gets it and he gets
it done in the cabs. Have you seen that?
The friends of mine and cut Bill, right?
It's like Alita will get you pregnant.
(23:10):
Because The thing is, you want to have somebody that really
believes in your vision. When it's hard and you're
dropping out and you feel like, oh, it's the worst if somebody's
there going, keep going, keep going.
You can do this. I did this.
I'm, you know that that's. Kind of like when you're giving
birth. Exactly.
Keep going, keep going. You know, So anyway that that's
(23:32):
exciting for me. And now with this ageless
factor, this is like I don't. Know about what you mean by the
ageless factor? Well, the.
Ageless factor is at any age, ifyou're 30, if you're 40, do you
know there's women now that are doing Botox at 30 and four?
Well, 40 kind of, I understand that.
But 30 and 20s because they, they're so used to the
(23:53):
photoshopping and Instagram thatnobody wants wrinkles or
anything anymore. It's like unimaginable.
So anyway. Well, I do think we live in a
society now where no one wants to acknowledge that death is as
much of a part of life. Right.
You know, and, and I actually, Icome from the belief that once
(24:15):
you accept that you are going todie, which is what a lot of
people don't want to accept. I believe once you really own
that fact, that's actually when you start to live because you
realize, Oh my, I'm on a finite,you know, script here.
I got to make sure I Max it out in whatever way I can so I don't
turn around the minute that whenever that time arrives,
(24:38):
which nobody gets the advance notice.
So I view it as I think acknowledging death is really
important, and I don't think enough people do that.
Right, but the. Thing that doesn't mean you
can't live an ageless life. Right, you've got a really
important point. The thing I'm going to do a
little sidebar because I also I do a lot of we're.
(24:59):
Women, we do sidebars. We do.
We do. 5. Things at once do you know when
I do couples therapy I have to remind the women we can do 5
things at once they can do 2 so stop I.
Don't know. Men are very good percussion
players, so they can actually drummers, so they can actually
do a lot of things at once, but just we do it differently.
(25:20):
I think we do there. There's definite differences
between male and female, totally.
But I think we need both, yeah. But then, you know, you think of
everything. Now bring me back to what we
were talking about. We were talking about death,
endlessness, acknowledging deathto live more fully.
Yeah, see when you said drummers, because I used to
have. Got distracted?
(25:40):
I got very distracted. Drummers are distracted.
They're very distracted. I was going to say, Diane, you
don't want to date a drummer. But then I went off into my
1950s, sixties, 70s personality.OK, so we're dealing with death
and dying now. OK, Death and dying.
All right. So I have helped people die, you
(26:01):
know, been there. And when I've noticed, including
with my mom, is that it's reallythe soul that takes you out and
you can see the person all of a sudden, it's like the energy
goes out the top of their head. You do.
I've been there. Yeah, so with my mother, we did
everything like I had. Opera, music, singing, you know
(26:24):
that you could hear that. I had.
Everybody went to say goodbye. My brother was there overnight.
Nothing. She wasn't moving.
OK. And then the doctor, I was on my
way to take Francesca to school.Doctor said, I think you better
get here. And I said, Francesca, you want
to come with me? And she said yes.
And we went and I saw my mother was just getting ready to go.
(26:47):
And they, of course, they didn'ttell me what they're doing.
They wheeled her into another room.
I was talking to her. Francesca was talking to her.
And then all of a sudden I saw her just right at the top of her
head. So when people are saying, you
know, it's like your soul decides, OK, now it's time to
go, but you want to. What's the song Live Like You
(27:08):
Were dying? There's a song live Like you
were Dying, which I love that song.
I really do. I don't know that one.
I'll have to look it up. Killer, right?
Killer, no pun intended. It's a country and western song.
I love country and western music, I really do.
I do. I mean, I sing it, you know, I
(27:31):
just love it. So anyway, before it became
really popular, but I've had thecowboy boots, the cowboy hat,
you know, I wanted, I wanted to marry.
Not marry, but date a cowboy. I haven't never been married yet
I've lived with five different bed.
I've had some really great relationships.
(27:51):
I haven't I'm I'm feeling like at 77, maybe 7879.
You know you'll think about it. Kind of like go and think about
commitment. Yeah, You know, you still
committed. It's just that you're free.
Because I realized I couldn't gooff to India.
I couldn't go off to, you know, the jungles or wherever I did to
(28:12):
learn all this stuff, you know, from the indigenous people.
If I was really married, why not?
Because I've noticed even the most liberal men, when you're in
the jungle with a group of men, you know, and then you say, hi,
honey, I've decided to go off toPeru right now.
(28:32):
Do you mind, you know, staying home and dealing with your
stuff. And then I'm now doing such and
such. That usually doesn't go down too
well. In fact, I've noticed that in
some of really intense relationships I've had with
celebrities that I've lived withthat didn't go around so much
because they get a lot of attention from a lot of other
(28:54):
women and you need to be around.So one that I was so in love
with this man and he was like gorgeous behind belief, right?
And wonderful big movie star, right?
And I was going to go up and do Tibetan mindfulness up in Delhi,
NY, in a Hermitage for seven weeks, where you just there from
(29:17):
6:00 in the morning in this stone Hut, you have lunch, you
go to the main house for lunch. That's all the people you see.
Then my teacher would come for like an hour and ask how I was.
And you did mindfulness till 10:00 at night till you went to
sleep on a stone thing. So it's like you went to bed.
Yeah. OK.
He didn't believe that I was going to do that.
(29:40):
Of course. Who?
Which crazy lunatic in his worldwould do that, even though I was
in show business at the time, right?
And I remember he didn't want meto go.
And I looked at him. It was.
I'll never forget it. And I had the keys in my hand to
his apartment. We lived down in the village, of
(30:01):
course, right? And I gave them to him and I
said, nobody's going to get in the way of my spiritual
development. And that was it.
And he said to me, Are you sure?And I said yes.
And that was it. And I went.
Was that a good choice for you? Yeah.
Totally a good choice. Totally a good choice because I
(30:22):
needed. That's what I was supposed to be
here to do. And that's with a lot of
different relationships. It would come to a point like I
get you, Alita, you're crazy, I love you, you're the best thing
ever, and where are you so. Well, you must have experienced
that a lot with children becausechildren are pretty demanding
(30:43):
and really want their mom aroundor want to know where you are or
what you're doing. Well, I'm lucky because I
visualized and manifested as we're talking about manifesting
a place where I can work out of as well as live a block away
with their children. So I could go there at any time.
(31:03):
I was blessed by imaged again, manifested a fabulous baby nurse
and she was able to take care ofthe children while I was working
because I'm I'm the type like there's some women that just
want to take care of their children and that's great.
And I wanted those children. So I wanted them to have the
best life they could have, but to be there 24/7 and ends all my
(31:28):
healing work with people and everything I had to do helping
other women get pregnant. So I traded it off.
I did parts of my, you know, work.
Didn't travel, cut down on the crazy, you know, Amazon jungle
because I didn't want to die, you know, on top of a mountain.
(31:48):
Where'd your mother go? It is interesting how choices
change when you embrace except mortality is a possibility you.
Know like I climbed up 14,000 feet, you know, to do Machu
Picchu, right, That's 14,000 feet.
And my dear friend that took me there, she said, aren't you
going to train for this, though?I'm yeah, I was a dancer and a
(32:12):
bodybuilder and I'm fine. And 14,000 feet straight up.
If you could go good chunk rightdown the old Cliff.
Oh, so mountains. Forget it, Cliff.
So and then in the jungle, you know, when you're going down the
Amazon and the guy that's driving it has like, you know,
an Uzi, you know, and you're wondering.
(32:34):
So I had to cut all that out I because I wasn't going to leave
my kids, you know, without theirmother.
And so I, I balanced it as best I could, but I felt like I was
bringing like my excitement about life.
And what are the other things like my show business stuff for
my daughter, the whole engineering stuff for Gian.
(32:55):
I'm helping him out with that. So they kind of have a fun
mother that's very creative for them.
And then what I ever I have to do, you know, with a
housekeeper, she's there, she's great and people that can come
in and help. But there are some women that
just want to be with their children.
I have women that are top executives that have to work and
(33:17):
they just wish they could stay home with their children.
And I said great. Well, but you can't.
So let's kind of get to terms with that, you know?
What are the next 50 years look like for you since you've got at
least another 50 years to 120 atleast no So you're.
Very good with that. What are those look like?
Now look up the numbers down. I always, I always joke and say
(33:40):
I'm I'm not sure I'm joking thatI'm going to live to 137 and I
want to go out racing in Monte Carlo on in F1, you know,
something like that 1:30 and sayyou know what, I'm going to try
to hit the fastest lap and if I wipe out, you know, it'll be
okay because I will have had a really good life.
But listen to this, Diane. There's a down parts of our
thing is that when I went and I looked at all the men that I
(34:03):
lived with and had relationshipswith, they were all gone.
Well, you know, it's funny or it's not funny.
It's interesting when when I look at all the biohacking that
people do or they talk about wanting to live to forever.
I mean, I joke about 1:37. I'm, I'm just, I'm just happy I
wake up in this direction every day and every day I wake up in
(34:24):
this direction. It's a good day for me.
And I don't if it ends tomorrow,I'm OK with that.
I'm at peace with all my relationships.
I can't think of anybody I need to apologize to.
I lived through four plane crashes and I learned you better
apologize before. You can't have that opportunity.
So that's pretty much how I think in life.
But when I see all the biohacking and somebody says,
(34:46):
well, I want to live too, you know, as long as Moses or I want
to live, you know, for forever. You'd miss a lot of people.
I, I don't, I wouldn't want that.
I wouldn't want that. I I wouldn't.
I wouldn't want to outlive my children.
Right. And that's a part who knows, you
know what I'm saying. You never know.
(35:06):
But and it's a sad part when I realized that they were gone
because you know, you look up, you know one, one of them dies
and then you look it up like twoor three of them and then four
of them and they're not here anymore.
I just had a dear friend of minethat passed away in his sleep at
76. It's like, oh Jesus.
(35:27):
But then another dear friend of mine said, well, that's the
thing, if you're going to live to 120, that's what you're going
to have to deal with. But I keep hanging out with the
40 year olds. I said, all right, but that's
definitely an emotional thing that you have to think about.
But for the next 50 years, all right, I got my kids that I'm
supporting and seeing them grow and helping them find their way
(35:49):
and what's their passion and purpose.
And how old are they now, 2020? Oh, they're they're just.
Beginning, yeah. They're amoebas.
Yes, yes, definitely amoebas, right?
My son's hysterical because he wants his girlfriend to live
with us. And he said, you know, mom, a
man needs a woman. I said, OK, you're lobbying for
(36:14):
her to come live here. It's true, Mom, man.
And I said, yeah, that's you Gota good point there.
Well, that's true. And a woman needs a man and a
man is not needs to get to the point where he's not living with
his mother. Exactly.
So I think there's a reverse to that.
I didn't. I didn't I.
Didn't I wasn't smart enough. Not that.
(36:36):
Oh, I barely think of them in the moment either.
I think of them later, yes, and wake up in the middle of the
night and say why didn't I just say that?
Right, right. Oh God, But that's what, that's
what's great about me having children.
Later they challenge you, they. Challenge me.
It's a different generation. It's the Internet, it's the
phones. And you have to like, adapt.
(36:58):
You can't do your old. Actually, I was like, I had the
leading hair. I was kind of hippie drama
school, La La, la, la, la. I didn't do the straight line
ever. But still I have to be more
liberal. I have to be open to like what's
going on in this generation. It's very different.
And it, it's, you know, it pushes my boundaries and then I
(37:20):
have to adapt and look at what I'm holding on to and what I
have to stay firm to in terms ofboundaries.
Yeah. So that's always good for me.
I understand my son has very high functioning Asperger's so
that it's like God said, OK, nowyou're going to have to learn
about spectrum and autism and Asperger's.
(37:41):
And I went, thank you very much because that's a whole different
thing. And so I'm with a whole group
for like 15-16 years of women that have children on the
spectrum and how to deal with that and how to do the nutrition
and how to do all the different kind of things that you can do
to rehab their brain to function.
(38:02):
Not necessarily away from like my son is brilliant at my.
To step into it and work with itat.
My father's funeral there was Joe Loda and my brother Curtis,
and I think Jan must have been about 1213 years old.
He knew more about the subways than Joe Loda, who is the head
(38:24):
of the MTA, and my brother Curtis, who was in the subways
forever and that we were laughing.
He just knew every Cove, every, you know, train that was ditched
away someplace and hidden. But he's that smart.
He can talk to any professional,like he's been around all over
the world about trains. That's what Asperger's is.
(38:47):
But it also has another downsideto it.
Thank God, with all the therapy I've done with him and the
healing work, he has a lot of empathy.
He's functioning really well. He's amazing.
And Francesca, she's into theater arts.
She'll call me up and say, mommy, You'll never guess.
You know that. She'll explain.
And I said, are they taking focus when you're on stage?
(39:09):
How did you know? And I said, excuse me, don't let
them do that. Stay in your zone or I got
rejected. You know, they didn't choose me.
I said, well, you do the best you can in that role that you
have. And she does when I go to see
her in her school, she's brilliant.
She holds the stage, She's amazing.
(39:31):
Whereas like when she was growing up and going to Lucy
Moses, I'd always have to give her notes, you know, I'd be
sitting at the rehearsal and andthen we'd have this fight.
Oh Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah, Bah. You don't know what you're
doing. But then she'd do it and she was
brilliant. She was always brilliant.
But I had to push her, you know,that let she was always like
holding back a little bit. Then we'd have the fight, it's
(39:54):
called the FU fight. I the FU fight.
And then Chunk, she was brilliant.
So oh God, now I don't have to do that.
She's just brilliant, right, Right there, she's there.
I'm so proud of her. So that to me makes me so happy.
But OK, so I have that. That's, you know, that's part of
the next 50 years. But I have learned so much and
(40:17):
I'm into this ageless factor at any age that I want women, men
to live. Like every single moment, as
much joy, having as much joy andfulfillment and success as they
possibly can. And then that means that they
have to align their emotional, mental and spiritual bodies with
(40:38):
their physical bodies to create that.
And I feel amazing when I'm working with people and they
want to have a relationship where a baby or get divorced or
have another part of their career.
I mean, I am the secret weapon behind the scenes of a few
celebrities out there because I love supporting people.
(41:00):
I also love getting out and doing my thing and working in
front of thousands of people to download my healing energy,
which I did in Las Vegas last year at Owner Worth Conference.
And it was I, I love being on stage.
I mean, I've sung in front of 2003 thousand people.
I love it. There's a feeling that I never
(41:22):
get nervous. You get energized.
So when I was in front of Gene had me up, Thank God.
You know, he was having a fight with his girlfriend.
We're in Las Vegas, you know, one of those F you fights.
We're breaking up. I couldn't sleep.
I said, Gene, I have to perform at 9:30 in the morning.
I have to do this whole big thing.
(41:43):
Are you insane? Chill, mom.
I just have to deal with this. So I got no sleep now for a
singer because I was singing also.
I had everybody on their feet dancing.
You have to get sleep. It's sleep is one of the things
that singers need. I think.
Sleep. 'S one of the things everybody
needs. I know, but especially if you're
going to sing. And so I said to myself, guess
(42:06):
what? You're the type of singer that
needs no sleep. You can go on at 9:30 in the
morning and you can just performand sing your, you know, guts
out and you'll be great. So I reprogrammed my brain.
So 9:30 I was on that stage and I had, you know, they have
virtual. It's a fabulous stage.
(42:27):
Tony Robbins owns. It's a huge, big thing, right?
And I just knocked it out of theballpark with singing, getting
everybody on their feet because I had helped Equinox years ago
start their Wellness program. And I had something called
energy transformations and I didsomething that, you know, shock
or balance. So I had everybody moving and
(42:49):
releasing all their energy and they could because I can heal
now from the stage. I could channel the healing
energy and, and people are going, Oh my God, I can feel
this and that lift. That's what I love to do.
I love to do massive amounts of people as well as private and
really uplift the energy so people can be happier and not be
(43:09):
stuck, you know, in the same old, same old, same old.
So that the ageless factor is you constantly reinvent yourself
and say what else is possible. So if there's a, if there's a
block that happens and something's taking longer to
manifest, I always say to myself, OK, what else is
possible? Then your brain goes, oh, this.
(43:32):
So then you don't loop in what the block is and the delay is or
the relationship that didn't work or the cheating or whatever
went on. You know, you go what else is
possible and then your brain. Goes that.
Yeah, that's a very powerful statement.
You know, I think a lot of people think view life as
binary. It's either yes or no.
(43:52):
It's this or that. It's up or down.
I always say look for number C, you know, look, try to see, see,
you know, there's something elseout there.
What else is possible? What's the next thing that what
haven't you explored? Or sometimes I'll say, you know,
(44:12):
I'll use Elon Musk. If you if we had to solve a
space problem, how would Elon Musk see that problem?
Would he see it differently? You know, you can, but you can
do it with anyone. So I if it's a emotional
problem, who's the who's the person who inspires your
emotions the most? How would they?
Rebound. Rebound from the problem and
when somebody removes themselvesand they start to say, well,
(44:35):
Alita, would you know even if itwas Diane and I said, oh, I want
to get pregnant today, which Godforbid, please not today.
Do you have anybody in mind? I've been there, done that.
I've, you know, but if that was what I was saying, I would, you
know, if I tried, what would elitist say?
(44:57):
Yeah, to herself. Or to me.
And my clients will say that I always think, like, what would
Elita say? And then they reframe it, right?
So when you think about, OK, your brain, it's not Candace
Pert wrote this molecules of emotion.
Do you remember her? I worked with her like I didn't.
I worked on her. I went to Washington before she
(45:20):
died, which is really sad, But she when she went to speak, she
was talking about the emotions are in your organs and all these
different places of your body. And I said, wow, that's exactly
what I know. So I connected with her and then
we we wound up working together.But then when you say, Oh my
God, you can do all this amazingstuff, but you can live instead
(45:44):
of think about this. And not everybody's going to
agree with this, but Eric Butterworth, who is like the big
unity minister. Years ago he was in Lincoln
Center. Yep.
He now you never expect him to talk about past lives, but he
said 32% of the past lives that people are talking about are
(46:04):
actual real. The rest are not.
And then you have a Doctor Weissthat deals with many lives and
masters. And plus, I've done a lot of
that work, you know, where you go back and pass lives.
You can, you don't have to go back and deal with what you
haven't dealt with to evolve in this lifetime, in another
(46:25):
lifetime. You can evolve and get to a
higher level in this lifetime and live a more elevated life if
you want to come. Back, I totally agree with that.
And I mean, I'm a consulting hypnotherapist and I've been in
all kinds of situations from emergency rooms and in an
ambulance and in surgeries and then in executive offices.
(46:51):
We're in my own office. And anytime anyone ever wanted
to talk about regression, I personally shut that down.
And because the mind is such an amazing imagine, hotbed of
imagination so well, I think people can look back and look at
these many lives that they may have had.
They may also be very imaginary.And I've seen them be more
(47:12):
hurtful to people. So I've always found that it's
most helpful to try to stick in the moment and say, what can I
do in this moment? What can I release now?
What can I, you know, channel and focus on that's working or
not? OK, So what I?
Believe are in the present. OK, however, and I, I understand
(47:32):
where you're coming from, but because I have certain psychic
abilities and I've worked with them for years, I can actually
see if something's real or not real.
And then because I'm channeling energy, I've never seen somebody
with that was working with me that went into a place that
(47:53):
didn't seem authentic to me. But had they done that, I would
still take the trauma and then I'd bring it into the present.
So I don't keep them. OK, so this lover died 75 times
and now, you know, he's leaving me again and I'm going to kill
myself. I don't leave it like that.
You know, I do the release work and then I bring it into the
present. But you?
(48:14):
But I have second sight. They call it so.
And now that I've been working so much, I meditate from 1:00 in
the morning to 6. I was telling you that there's a
download of energy that's happened for 7-8 weeks now, all
the planetary alignments. So I'm not tired.
I get like 4 hours sleep becauseI'm regenerating through
(48:35):
spiritual energy. So I've been able to see energy
fields from this life to the, you know, future life, etcetera.
But it takes a lot to be able todo that.
You can't just do that. So for seven or eight weeks, I
haven't done anything but go home, sleep a 12:50 and that's
it, then I'm up. So not everybody's going to do
(48:56):
that. They want to go out to dinner,
they're going to have a date, they want to do that kind of
stuff. But because I'm able and I'm not
trying to blow smoke, it's who Iam because I'm able to do that.
Very few people can because theyhaven't put the time and energy
into it, nor should they. So you're.
Sleeping till 12:50 AM and you're waking up.
Yeah, and I can't not wake up. So then I meditate or listen to
(49:19):
podcasts or, you know, deal with.
Are you on any medication? No.
No. No, I'm just on vitamins.
OK, Yeah, I do. You know, I have.
I'm connected to a Vita Sol, which is a clinic that deals
with longevity in Mexico that I work with Doctor Frank on.
I've done stem cells some, you know, stuff of that nature, but
(49:43):
not that much when you look at it.
I mean, I had cancer like, I don't know, a year or two years
ago. I can't even remember.
I'm not going to say what it wasgenerated by.
But anyway, I had it taken out and I didn't go the normal
route. I went because it wasn't that.
We'd have to talk about that another time because we can't
(50:05):
give medical advice. Oh, OK.
All right. I mean, we're on like the last
two minutes of our show, unfortunately.
All right, so how do we wrap this up?
So do we wrap this up my whole? Thing is, I'm winding up and not
down, OK. I reinvent myself all the time
with what else is possible and what are you excited about and
what are you supposed to be doing on this planet?
(50:27):
Why did you come here? I get passionate out of helping
people. I was an entertainer because I
wanted to bring people's feelings up.
Now I'm a healer, bringing people's feelings up and saying
what else is possible in your life that you can manifest?
So life shift, like Go and Live your Dream was my first book and
it, you know, it's a nationwide bestseller and it deals with how
(50:50):
do you transform energy and how do you live your dreams?
Now finding Alita the Ageless factor, which is my next book
that's going to come out is basically how do you live with
joy and vitality to as long as you're on this planet and you
don't have to get decrepit and you don't have to close down,
you don't have to think it's over.
It's over. When the fat lady sings, as they
(51:13):
say, your soul goes, OK, time togo.
Well, this was so much fun, I could keep talking to you for
another two hours. I know I love this.
Oh my gosh, my guest today has been Elita St.
James. You are going to find all kinds
of contact information below this audio or video version of
(51:33):
this podcast. However, you're checking it out
so you can follow her so you canstay in touch, which I highly
recommend you do. Alita, thank you so much for
joining me today. This was a great episode.
Oh, thank you, Diane. It certainly was for me.
It really was. You have to go to dinner.
Oh yes, thank you everyone and please hit subscribe and share
(51:55):

Thank you. Thank you.
